A condensed, hand-drawn print style with brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lively, slightly shaky baseline and variable stroke terminals that taper or blunt unpredictably, creating a dry-brush texture. Counters are compact and sometimes partially closed by heavier strokes, while verticals tend to dominate, giving the overall set a tall, tight rhythm. The lowercase is simple and legible with minimal joining behavior, and numerals follow the same handwritten construction with irregular widths and stroke build-up.
Works best for short, prominent text such as posters, titles, labels, and social graphics where a handcrafted voice is desired. It can add character to packaging, album/cover art, event promos, and merchandise. For longer reading or small UI text, it’s better used sparingly as an accent due to its texture and compact counters.
The font feels quick, expressive, and personal, like marker or brush lettering made in one confident pass. Its roughness adds urgency and attitude, reading as informal and slightly rebellious rather than polished or refined. The narrow proportions and dark color make it punchy and attention-grabbing, suited to bold, human-sounding messaging.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of hand-rendered brush/marker print lettering in a condensed footprint, prioritizing personality and impact over typographic regularity. The irregular edges and variable terminals suggest an intentional “drawn” texture to keep the tone casual and expressive in display settings.
Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, which enhances the handmade authenticity but can create uneven color in long passages. Stroke texture becomes a defining feature at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes the heavier strokes and tight counters may reduce clarity in dense text.
